Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Stade Brestois 29 1.99 xG and Rennes 1.11 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Stade Brestois 29 attack 1.081 / defence 0.897 | Rennes attack 0.955 / defence 1.117. League average goals — home 1.644 / away 1.298. Data: 41 Stade Brestois 29 games / 41 Rennes games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Stade Brestois 29 55% | Draw 27% | Rennes 18%. Fair-value odds: Stade Brestois 29 1.82 | Draw 3.70 | Rennes 5.56. The model has a clear lean to Stade Brestois 29 (55%) — a 37pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.10. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.10 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.99 / 1.11) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Stade Brestois 29 as the most likely outcome at 55% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 27% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.10 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 60% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.3 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 61% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Stade Brestois 29 40% | Rennes 70% BTTS from recent games.
